‘Canes battle past Warriors
Joey Strain carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and Huntingtown’s bats provided plenty of support as the Hurricanes topped La Plata 6-1 on Friday.
Huntingtown’s sophomore pitcher did not allow a hit until Chris Duelley’s single with one out in the bottom of the sixth. In six innings of work, Strain surrendered one run on one hit, walked two and struck out three.
Offensively, Huntingtown took advantage of an inning-lengthening error in the third inning to push three runs across. An inning later, Michael McFarland’s lead-off double turned into the Hurricanes’ fourth run, and Chris Gaines knocked in Joe Karbowsky later in the inning to increase the lead to 5-1. Tony Garilli hit a solo shot in the top of the fifth to cap the scoring.
